A genuine ruby mala with extremely difficult to source round beads of a deep redish purple colour. This mala is comprised of 108 genuine ruby beads and a rock crystal guru bead and a ruby beaded tassle. Ruby is often associated with the practice of Vajra Yogini or deities connected with the lotus family such as Amitabha Buddha. This mala is a one off piece and it is unlikely we will get another in this quality in the forseeable future. They are much darker in colour than the 8 mm beads we also stock.
